Product Description for Fossil Fossil 2056/S Sunglasses

Fossil Fossil 2056/S is a Full Rim frame for Men, which is made of Acetate Plastic Front and Nylon Temples.

Acetate is the most common material used for frame manufacturing. It has endless possibilities for color, texture, and patterns. It can even be laminated to create great visual effects, and it can retain a higher luster. Acetate is lightweight, so it is often chosen for its versatility in coloring as well as for its comfort. Acetate is made out of cotton seed fibers and plasticizers. --------- Nylon is a thermoplastic material that is blended in order to counteract its initial brittleness. Nylon blends are lightweight, stable, and resistant to breakage. Nylon has less of a tendency to "bleed" it's plasticizers resulting in great hypoallergenic properties. It can be blended with polyamides,grilamid, or trogamid. This mixture of polymers make it lightweight and strong. Because it is easily molded, Nylon can be used in frames that are difficult to make. Sporty wraparound styles, and sports and performance frames will most likely be made out of Nylon.

This model features a Rectangular shape, with a Single Bridge.

These sunglasses are available with a mirror coating option on certain colors. Mirror coatings are suitable for protection from intense light. A mirror coating reflects back light and reduces the amount of light passing through the lens. This makes it more comfortable for eyes in very sunny conditions.

The sunglasses are available on certain colors with gradient tinted lenses - Gradient tints are tints that start off at a darker color at the top of a lens and then gradually lighten towards the bottom of the lenses. These tints are great for fashion and for reading outside on sunny days. Gradient coatings work by allowing an appropriate amount of light to filter through in certain areas and less in places where protection is most necessary.
